    Elder You smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this level won't kill you. But whether you gain an opportunity depends on your fate." Li Tianyu took a deep breath and stepped into the fifth level. However, when he saw the scene before him, he was stunned. There was no sea of ​​blood, no giant beasts, no illusionary mind demons. There was only a simple house. The furnishings in the house were extremely simple: a bed, a table, and a chair. On the table was a book. Li Tianyu walked forward and picked up the book. The cover had seven large characters written on it—"Postpartum Care of Sows." "This..." He opened the book, which contained the most authentic method of postpartum care for sows. "This is the test of the fifth level?" Li Tianyu was somewhat puzzled. "That's right." Elder You's voice rang in his ears, "True strongmen often start with postpartum care of sows. The Pangu Scripture is powerful, but if you forget the foundation, you are like a rootless duckweed." Li Tianyu was taken aback, and then fell into deep thought. Before transmigrating, his hopes of becoming a special forces soldier were dashed. He tried making a fortune by writing novels, but his readership plummeted to zero. Finally, he joined a group of archaeologists to earn some extra money, which led to his transmigration. Upon arriving in this world, he started as a lowly outer disciple. Back then, he didn't even know what Yuan Qi was, and could only do menial tasks. Later, he accidentally obtained a fragment of the *Pangu Scripture*, which opened his true path of cultivation. But as his cultivation increased, he seemed to gradually forget his original self. "The... Postpartum... Care of a sow..." Li Tianyu murmured to himself, slowly closing his eyes. Details he had once overlooked gradually became clear in his mind. The meridian circulation when drawing Qi into the body, the techniques for condensing Yuan Qi, the insights gained when breaking through realms... These most basic things, now revisited, brought a completely new understanding. "So that's it... The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Three gives birth to all things, and a sow gives birth to a whole litter!!!!!!!!!!" He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of enlightenment in them. "Ninth level of the Yuan Qi Realm!" True Qi surged within him, his cultivation breaking through again, reaching the ninth level of the Yuan Qi Realm! Moreover, this was not the end. "Not enough... Giving birth to a whole litter isn't enough..." Li Tianyu murmured to himself, feeling the power within him. "To break through the limit, what's needed is more than just a sow." He reopened the book "Postpartum Care of Sows," studying it word by word. Time passed second by second. He didn't know how much time had passed when Li Tianyu suddenly felt a strange fluctuation. "... That's right! The sow's own efforts alone are far from enough! It also requires..." He immediately sat down cross-legged. The "Pangu Scripture" within him automatically circulated, golden true Qi surging wildly like a burst dam. "The efforts of the pig farmer!" As if something had shattered. Li Tianyu's aura suddenly soared to a whole new level. "Peak of the Yuan Qi Realm!" He succeeded! From the eighth level of the Yuan Qi Realm to a peak Yuan Qi Realm expert in a single leap! Even Elder You was shocked by this speed. "This child's future is boundless..." Elder You couldn't help but sigh, "Breaking through several realms in such a short time, even His Holiness the Pope of yesteryear couldn't match such talent." "The Pangu Scripture is indeed terrifying!"

Later, I noticed something: a cloud of gray mist hovered above the heads of those who'd lost their minds. The madder they were, the thicker the mist. Then I looked up and saw the same thing above the armed police escorting me. But they said, "Your eyes can save humanity." But I haven't 1Reads—Score—Shelves

    Please, brothers, sisters, and everyone else, come and see this! It's a post-apocalyptic ensemble drama with political intrigue, and it's incredibly captivating. The plot revolves around the apocalypse, where eerie broadcasts simultaneously reach the entire globe, causing those who hear them to lose their minds and turn on each other. The protagonist, Lu Ye, is the only one unaffected. He can see things others can't—a gray mist parasitizing human bodies. This ability makes him both a detection tool for the government and a weapon for killing. The source of this broadcast originates from Voyager 1, which should be 19.5 Billion kilometers away. The female lead doesn't appear until Chapter 5. She's a doctor with a loving same-sex partner. The story uses a completely parallel dual narrative—one forced to kill within the system, the other desperately saving lives outside of it. The two storylines intersect in the second volume.
